🚨 18% OFF LIVESTOCK — FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY 🚨

Apparently the fish, coral, inverts, and plants have collectively decided they’d like to leave.

So from today, Friday, October 9 through Monday, October 12, all livestock is 18% OFF.

🐠 Fish
🪸 Coral
🦀 Inverts
🌿 Plants

If it’s alive, for sale, and currently judging you through aquarium glass, it’s probably included.

This is a good weekend to finally grab that fish you’ve been staring at every visit, add another coral you definitely have room for, or purchase a cleanup crew so you can continue pretending algae is a temporary situation.

18% off all livestock. Four days only.

Come see us at Summit City Coral before somebody else buys the thing you’ve been “thinking about” for three weeks.

SUMMIT CITY CORAL CARE SHEET:
PEACOCK MANTIS SHRIMP

We sell animals responsibly.

This one just happens to have clubs.

Tank Size:
20–30 gallons minimum.

Species-only is strongly recommended.

You can technically try tankmates.

You can also technically leave your car running at a gas pump and go inside for lunch.

We are not recommending either.

Temperature:
76–80°F

Salinity:
1.023–1.026

Diet:
Shrimp, clam, squid, krill, crab, snails, and other meaty marine foods.

Occasionally provide hard-shelled prey so it can naturally use its smashing appendages.

This helps prevent boredom.

We do not know what a bored mantis shrimp plans.

We would prefer not to find out.

Luckily ours has a particular fondness for clams on the half shell, so it’s easy to keep him satisfied.

Housing:
Provide several inches of sand, secure rockwork, and a sturdy burrow.

PVC pipe works great.

It will renovate.

You may have spent two hours aquascaping.

That was adorable.

The mantis has different plans.

Tankmates:
No.

This section used to be longer.

Fish are questionable.
Snails are potential snacks.
Crabs are potential snacks with legs.
Shrimp are apparently a personal insult.

The Pitho crabs have unionized.

Matt has refused to recognize the union.

Molting:
During a molt, your mantis may seal itself inside its burrow and disappear for several days.

Leave it alone.

Do not dig it out.

Do not remove the rock.

Do not poke the burrow with feeding tongs.

Do not shine a flashlight directly into the entrance every 15 minutes.

You are not conducting a wellness check.

You are harassing a shrimp.

Dylan has been informed of this several times.

Handling:
Do not.

That is the entire section.

Glass:
Peacock mantis shrimp are famous for extremely powerful strikes.

A properly sized aquarium is generally fine.

Still, do not spend your afternoon deliberately encouraging it to punch the glass.

There is no achievement unlocked for this.

Lid:
Use one.

They are curious, active, and substantially smarter than something shaped like that has any business being.

If it escapes, please do not call the store and begin the conversation with:

“So hypothetically…”

We already know where this is going.

Fun Fact:
Peacock mantis shrimp have exceptionally complex vision and can detect polarized light.

It can see things you cannot.

It knows things you do not.

Matt claims he can too.

Nobody asked him.

Personality:
Highly intelligent.
Very curious.
Often interactive with their owners.

They may learn your routine and recognize when you approach the tank.

So after several months, you may develop a meaningful bond with an animal that would immediately kill a snail in front of you.

This is called reefkeeping.

Difficulty: Intermediate
Temperament: Felony Skittles
Tankmates: Absolutely freelance
Aquascaping: Temporary
Employee Most Likely to Put Their Hand Near It: Coleson
Employee Least Surprised When Something Goes Wrong: Matt
Employee Who Will Become Emotionally Attached Within 48 Hours: Dylan

Available at Summit City Coral.

Please purchase responsibly.

And if Coleson tells you he can hand-feed it because “it likes him,” notify management immediately.

It’s been such a crazy few weeks with Summit City Coral’s relocation. The store is looking better every day! Thank you to Dylan for working on this daily.

THE NEW STORE HAS BEEN STOCKED.

We spent all that time moving Summit City Coral to a bigger location, which unfortunately gave Matt more room to order things.

This week’s arrivals are settling in, and there are some seriously nice animals in the building.

Particularly these multicolor Wellso corals, which have spent most of the morning inflated to an unreasonable size and making everything around them look inadequate.

Also lurking around the new shop:

🐠 White Cheek Tang
🐠 Midas, Horseface & Klausewitz Blennies
🐠 Yasha & Yellow Watchman Gobies
🐠 Red & Target Mandarins
🐠 Melanurus Wrasse
🐠 Royal Grammas
🪸 24K Gold Torches
🪱 Pink Coco Worm
⭐ Brittle Stars
🦔 Pincushion & Shortspine Urchins

And approximately enough cleanup crew to unionize.

The Wellso pictured below is available, assuming Dylan doesn’t spend the afternoon staring at it long enough to develop an emotional attachment.

Come check out the livestock and the new shop at:

📍 1533 Goshen Ave.

The tanks are full again.

Our restraint was temporary.

****Location Update!****

Thank you everyone for being so patient this week. Moving the entirety of Summit City Coral in under a week was no small task. Honestly, it was probably one of the most difficult things I’ve done in many many years.

I had great help which made it possible, but that’s for another post.

We will be open all weekend starting today at 3pm!

I’m saving some of the new store photos until later as there’s still a lot of cleanup to do this morning. However, look at this very first photo I ever took of the original Summit city Coral location.

A lot of memories at this place and so many changes over the years.
